Hey guys,

My first post on this forum. Anyway help is needed.
:(
I was wondering if there is a way for me to radio controlled a directional control valve. Basically it is either an electrical or electronic valve operation involves energizing a solenoid. And the energizing part comes from a source.. say a battery.. but what i need to do is automation.. meaning i have to radio controlled it to switch the valve operations.

I am at my wits end...

Will appreciate any valuable inputs from the forumers...

Thanks thanks!
:D

it sounds like you just want to switch on and off an electric solenoid? ? ?
if all you need is on/off, this should work: http://www.dimensionengineering.com/PicoSwitch.htm
They also have many other things that might be usefull.

if you want actual proportional control (like controlling an electric motor) you need an ESC (electronic Speed Control)
